A Comprehensive Assessment of the Global LNG Infrastructure Base & LNG Supply/Demand Dynamics
The global liquefied natural gas (LNG) business has changed radically in the past few years. Energy Intelligence has surveyed all the
key supply regions, demand centers, and potential chokepoints of the industry to produce a comprehensive survey of the global
LNG landscape — The World LNG Review, 2008.
These are some of the key themes of the World LNG Review:
- The supply-demand balance is poised to turn again in the medium term, as supply project bottlenecks are cleared and over
100 million tons per year of new supply — a 50% increase — floods the market.
- Suppliers in Africa, the Middle East and Europe are threatening the dominance of Asia.
- The import balance is shifting from the industrialized Asian economies to developing ones, and the US and Europe are poised to regain lost import shares.
- Delays on global projects, coupled with soaring demand for gas, are contributing to chronic short-term LNG supply shortages and escalating prices.
- Import terminals, and the LNG fleet, are multiplying more rapidly than export facilities, as purchasers seek to position themselves in the new market, but supply shortfalls mean many face severe underutilization in their early years.
The
World LNG Review, 2008
provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the LNG market and its underlying trends through:
- Assessments of global gas consumption relative to production and reserves.
- Analysis of how the global LNG market is developing, including a review of market fundamentals, current LNG trading and pricing structures, transportation issues, and costs.
- Country-by-country analysis of the main drivers and constraints affecting key LNG supply and demand dynamics over the medium term.
- Project-by-project analysis of every major operational and proposed global LNG facility set against a background of wider national energy market trends.

Complimentary Bonus from Energy Intelligence
On November 14, 2007, Energy Intelligence hosted a Live, Interactive Webinar entitled The World LNG Challenge.
The 60-minute webinar featured Sarah Miller, Editor of World Gas Intelligence and Ian Nathan, Senior Research Analyst for
Energy Intelligence Research fielding questions from clients on short and medium-term
perspectives on the global LNG markets and a preview to the upcoming World LNG Review, 2008 study.
The following is a brief summary of some of the key themes addressed during the Question & Answer session of the webinar:
- The potential impact on US gas prices of increased LNG imports into the US.
- Will there be another potential large-scale LNG producer other than Australia to meet demand growth?
- Who is projected to be the key marginal LNG producer?
- The potential impacts of fuel switching on LNG markets.
